An American point of view on Swedish Music

Swedes Are Sweet – The Cover Edition

Sometimes the original band is not the version that touches you or makes your heart feel something. The two songs below are perfect examples of that. Covers of two songs that I love but gave me a different emotional attachment when sung by Swedes.

First up, Moto Boy’s cover of Suede’s “The 2 of Us.” Sung beautifully and not void of the perfect amount of emotional heartache of the original. I don’t think anyone else could cover this song any better.

Second up, what would a week of healing music be without me featuring Lykke Li song. Here is her cover, which I may be hit for saying I like more than the original. A song about getting over someone and moving on.
